Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Etienne Sauzet, Bourgogne, Blanc, La Tufera, 2019

A fine crystalline Puligny-emanating Bourgogne with crisp notes of sweet lemon and polished stones. There’s some flesh on the mid-palate and a long salty finish. Intensity without density. Classy! An elegant Bourgogne that emanates from three parcels in the Puligny-Montrachet commune. Aged in used oak barrels and steel cuves.

12.5%

Etienne Sauzet

Etienne Sauzet’s son-in-law, Gérard Boudot, makes the wine at this benchmark Burgundian Domaine and has been more recently assisted by talented winemaker Benoit Riffault, Gerard's son-in-law. A tasting with Gérard and Benoit is not just enjoyable but highly educational – each session is a virtual masterclass in terroir. Indeed, their knowledge of Puligny’s different vineyards is second to none. They resist the temptation to interfere with the wines too much after fermentation, and employs on average 30% new oak every year. The Grand Crus are, of course, impressive; even right down to Villages and Bourgogne level the wines display the finesse and grace of truly great Puligny.
